Welcome to our monthlong countdown celebrating notable drivers and cars from the Indianapolis 500!
 |
Majeske Collection Michael Andretti is perhaps the best driver not to have won the Indianapolis 500. |
30 Days in May: No.
10, Michael Andretti, 1991 Kmart-Havoline Lola/Chevrolet. What’s May
without an “Andretti Almost”? 1991 was the closest Michael came to winning the
Indianapolis 500, finishing second to Rick Mears after a breathtaking duel in
the late stages. In his Indianapolis 500 career, Michael Andretti led 431 laps,
0 wins. Rick Mears led 429 laps at Indy, 4 wins. Michael had great success
as a car owner in the Indianapolis 500, though, with five victories with five
different drivers: Dan Wheldon (2005), Dario Franchitti (2007), Ryan
Hunter-Reay (2014), Alexander Rossi (2016) and Takuma Sato (2017).
